Chapter 177: The Wizard's Tower
The end of the world is just around the corner!
If the word used to be an abstract concept for Merlin, it is now a concrete fact!
For seven days and seven nights, almost every two steps had to be carefully calculated, and the woods that were no more than 100 meters away in a straight line were out of the level of 10,000 miles of trekking. When she walked out of the Minotaur's labyrinth, she suddenly felt like she had seen the light of day again, and she was so tired that she wanted to find a place to sleep well...... It's more tiring than doing any experiment.
It's not the first time Merlin has seen wizard towers, in the Water Cloud Academy, in the Golem Academy, and in Sun Mountain, but all wizard towers are too slender compared to this nine-story wizard tower, like the difference between a small grass and a big tree.
This crimson wizard's tower has six faces, each twenty-four meters wide and each floor twelve meters high. This wizard tower has six doors instead of the three that are common today. In addition to the first floor, there are six windows on each side of the upper eight floors. The red tower is clean, and there are clear alchemy runes on the edges of the windows, which is more like an artistic decoration.
The tower gradually shrinks upward, but it is not noticeable, until it reaches the ninth floor, and each side is still twelve meters wide. Merlin arrived to her surprise that there were no gaps in the tower, as if it had been carved out of a whole boulder. Merlin leaned over and touched the red stone on the ground, unable to discern the material.
The materials chosen by the legendary wizard will definitely have much better properties than ordinary materials.
The windows of the Wizard's Tower were inlaid with crystals, but Merlin didn't feel like her heart was pounding. She just revered from the bottom of her heart, this wizard tower, it can be said that it was built with the essence of witchcraft, everything on the tower is so perfect, there is no trace of superfluity, as an alchemist, you can appreciate the ingenuity of the builder.
The six planes represent the six elemental planes, and the opening of six doors at the same time indicates that the wizard has been able to maintain the balance of the elements during his practice.
During the apprenticeship, the wizard is only in the process of exploring, instilling all kinds of knowledge in himself, and when becoming a full-fledged wizard, he needs to explore and choose the path that suits his own cultivation while maintaining the balance of the major elements, and give up some knowledge. After all, human lifespan is limited, and it is impossible to invest limited energy evenly in all directions.
However, as a Bloodline Warlock, you have already determined your path from the beginning, so it is easier to make a choice and consider many options. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that a high-level wizard like the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden still maintains the balance of the major elements. Her understanding of wizarding knowledge has reached the extreme. It's like this wizard tower, which has accumulated extremely deep at each level before moving to a higher level.
There is no doubt that in this well-preserved wizarding tower, there must be the most precious knowledge of wizards.
Seven days and seven nights, for Merlin, both physical and mental strength, the consumption is huge, she meditated for six hours, and slept for another four hours before she fully recovered.
"Master, while you're resting, I've checked the outside of the entire Wizard's Tower, and you're going to enter through that door?" asked Ingram.
Her words are half true and half false...... While Merlin was resting, she did check the perimeter of the Wizard's Tower, but instead of exploring Merlin's path, she wanted to find an opportunity to enter.
Unfortunately, none of the six gates could be entered by a spirit like her, so she had to give up.
"That's it. ”
Merlin circled around the Wizard's Tower, then stopped, pointed to the door in front of her, and said...... On that door, there is a very striking alchemical rune.
This rune represents the wood element, and for Merlin, the spells mastered during her apprenticeship are of course based on actual combat, and there is no special elemental tendency. Other than that, she didn't know what was going on, and she had a wonderful feeling in her heart that it would be much less dangerous to enter from this side.
Merlin walked to the door and raised her hand, just as she was about to touch the alchemy symbol, the stone door automatically slid open to the sides. Startled, she quickly retracted her hand, she was ready to activate the defensive spell.
There was nothing inside the door, no spell attacks, no constructed golems, and no strange beasts.
Merlene looked into the interior of the Wizard's Tower...... She didn't see anything, and behind the door was an empty space with a sense of nothingness.
Is it a test?
Among the previous wizards, there are many who are willing to pass on what they have learned...... But there is no one who is willing to entrust his inheritance to non-people. So, although the legacy is left, it also sets up opportunities for testing.
If you can't pass, you will be injured or killed, and in the wizarding world, 'mercy' is a mockery of the weak.
"Have you thought about it, it's a matter of life!" reminded Ingram.
"From the moment we set foot on this road, we were doomed to be accompanied by danger. Not to mention that I can't turn back now. Merlin smiled faintly and resolutely walked through the gate of the Wizard's Tower.
Merlin knew that she was a little reckless, but she also knew that what people wanted to get, they had to pay the same price, and this result was common anywhere on the mainland.
Just as Merlin walked through the gate of the Wizard's Tower, her figure disappeared, and Ingram was inexplicably thrown out, standing in the doorway in a daze.
At this time, Merlin was stuck in a space full of green grass...... Or to put it more figuratively, she felt like she was buried alive by endless green grass, with no ground under her feet, no sky above her head, and she felt like she was going to suffocate.
But what surprised Merlin even more was that when she entered this space full of wood elements, the Balke Ring in her hand suddenly began to devour the wood elements here, and Merlin also took the opportunity to steal these wood elements to nourish her body.
Just when Merlin was enjoying the pleasure, she didn't notice that the wood elements around her were getting thinner and thinner, and the surface of the ring showed colorful colors, which were unpredictable and beautiful...... It's also a little weird.
Finally, for the first time, the energy absorbed by the ring reached saturation, and Merlin felt the entire space vibrate, and the wood elements piled up in her body, never to be transmitted to the ring again. What's worse is that the wood element in the space did not give up entering Mei Lin's body because the ring stopped absorbing, in Mei Lin's body, the wood element became more and more intense, she felt like a bulging floating ball, as the wood element continued to be injected, making Mei Lin mistakenly think that her body had grown dozens of times, like a big tree stretching out its branches.
